We had no idea we were going to be making a Fly Lo music vid the day we shot him on top of the AT&T building. But the whole setup was just too photogenic not to keep shooting and shooting, so we did - while he continued wrecking it on the 1's and 2's. Take that, mixed with other scenes we had already shot and we had enough for a video.
We were kinda bummed that no one had made a music video for our favorite song of his off of Cosmogramma, "Galaxy in Janaki." So my brother Forest and I turned to each other in unison and shrugging, we both agreed, "why not?"
So I see Fly Lo at the Low End Theory in LA after he gets back from a tour across the world, and he lets me know how much that song means to him because he wrote it for his Mom. He thought the visuals didn't completely match up to the vision he thought of directly correlating to his Mother, so it would have to be a bonus video. But don't we all like a little bonus sometimes?
Cheers,
